Syllabus
You can find the link to the course syllabus below:
Student Help Resources
Mental Health Resources: Click here to find a list of mental health resources available to you at Syracuse University as well as national hotlines. Never hesitate to make use of these services if you need them. If you know someone in distress, say something and be sure to make them aware of these resources.
Mathematics Help Resources: Click here to find Mathematics help offered through the Mathematics Department and click here to find Mathematics help offered through CLASS (Center for Learning and Student Success).
Past Final Exams: Click here to find past MAT 194 final exams.
Symbolab: Symbolab is a useful online computational device, which will not only integrate but show steps. This can be a useful study tool, but be careful how you use it!
WolframAlpha: WolframAlpha is a useful online computation device. WolframAlpha takes written commands, interprets the input, and performs the computations. WolframAlpha is an online ‘watered down’ version of Mathematica, which at this time is offered to Syracuse University students for free! However, WolframAlpha will take many Mathematica commands, as I outline in this document.
Reference Tables: I created a reference table which is not just useful for Calculus, but most of the more applied mathematics courses you could take as an undergraduate.
Homework
Here is where you will find the list of homeworks. Note they can differ from the syllabus, as those are tentative. But are not likely to deviate. The date given is the date assigned. Homeworks are always due the next class for possible credit. Note that the WebAssign homeworks are not posted here. You will need to go to WebAssign to find those.

07/22: Write/find a log or exponential problem. Try to make it as difficult as possible. We will work on these in class and I will have to solve it. The catch is you also have to be able to solve it! This is your chance to try to stump me!
07/23: Complete the Exponential/Log packet. Be sure to have Problems 3 & 4 from the first project to submit as well.
07/30: Complete this packet.
